Since last year, my rack has grown to this state. Currently I'm really happy and have a lot of fun with it.
I wanted to ask you for a bit Inspiration how I can fill the last HP, which are still open. I'm doing mostly a bit of techno, some melodic stuff and also some ambient from time to time.
As a sequencer I use a Beatstep Pro and for drums I use a Digitakt.
I am curious about your suggestions.
Thanks a lot @farkas.
I have a hard time imagining the VoltageBlock, because I plan max. a 6U case. I also considered Pam's, but I don't need rhythms or master clock, my Beatstep Pro and the Digitakt can do that.
So I thought about a Quadenvelope to bring in also slow modulation.
hello everybody,
at the moment I am planning to buy a new oscillator. At the moment Manis or Ataraxic, possibly Cursus, are on the shortlist.
Therefore it is time to think about more modulation, and of course a bigger case. I currently use for modulation an A-118-2, a ClepDiaz, a Function, and from time to time the pitch sequencer and various other outputs of the DFAM or the sequencers of the BeatstepPro.
I am thinking about a Quad Envelope. So of course the overly suspicious ones come to mind: Stages, Quadrax, Zadar, Quadigy, PonsAsinorum - you know them.
What are your experiences with NE-VCOs - is it worth a Quad-Envelope? or should i get more LFOs a la Batumi, Pams, or better something like Mimetic or VoltageBlock?
Your opinions would interest me.
that's my current 84HP rack + DFAM:
Thanks for your answers. I will consider the forbidden planet as well.
In general the rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper. It seems like a mistake to try putting a rack for everything together - every other minute I'm questioning my choices. I definetely have to deep dive in some modul manuals to see if they really fit what is in my head.
thanks a lot @rossduncan . The Disting MK4 is definitely on my list and I will look into the Short Bus. I also added a Mimetic Digitalis for some interactive sequence action.
Any recommendations on another good small filter for this kind of a rack? The Forbidden Planet looks like a bang for the buck but I just don't like the look of it.
Hello, everyone,
after quite some time with VCV, and reading hundreds of threads, posts and articles, I want to enter the world of real knobs and controls. I put this rack together, but honestly I'm torn which modules are really must-have and what is still missing.
With this rack I want to add new layers, textures, simple melodies and basslines, besides my DFAM and various synths - so it should be a starter (budget) allrounder rack, which is also suitable for a jam session on its own.
I'm mainly interested in the initial start with the rack, surely more modules, second voice, effects and modulators will be added later. (like the Disting and so on)
Especially in combination with the DFAM I'm not sure what the best modules are for the beginning, to experiment with them but still create good and rich sounds. Not to mention the choice of filters and VCO (any recommendations?) - the market is simply overwhelming. Unfortunately I don't have a shop near me to test modules.
I am interested in your help, experiences and some feedback.
thanks
